Strategic-level fantasy syndrome patient

As the official institution and the only one of its kind in Shen City, the Abnormal Human Research Center.

It was indeed exceedingly simple to get a sculpture of a Divine Immortal sister and a pastry that looked like a frog.

It's worth mentioning that, when the factory inquired about what the statue should look like, that is, what constitutes a "Divine Immortal sister".

The staff in charge directly sent over a photo of Bai Xiuchu.

Thereafter, the factory had no further questions.

Once everything was ready, Ji Tianqi's Genetic Lock was released again.

"The criminal with superpowers is very fast, and very agile,"

Bai Xiuchu said solemnly to Ji Tianqi, based on the spirit and content of the related meetings.

"Therefore, we believe it's necessary for you to learn the Wave Striding Steps first, so you can more securely capture him, and the process will not cause any innocent casualties or property damage."

To ensure the authenticity of this lie, Bai Xiuchu even produced registration documents from the Hero Association.

"Once you sign this, you can become a hero of the Hero Association, with an official identity to cooperate with the Security Administration Bureau."

Ji Tianqi was somewhat excited when he saw the registration documents—who doesn't want to be a superhero when they have superpowers?

Of course, that's under the premise that the official power is strong enough.

The fully official Security Administration Bureau and the semi-official Hero Association, these two organizations possessing numerous powerful superpower users, are the main reasons why most superpower users publicly prefer to be heroes, not super criminals.

They are also the primary reasons why Dragon Country, and other countries with similar organizations, can maintain peace and stability.

Similar to in an era without superpowers, when a country is strong and normal.

The wealthy, publicly, would not easily reveal their evil capitalist facets but would create personas of entrepreneurs who provide jobs and promote technological progress.

For example...

"I'll sign!"

Ji Tianqi eagerly filled out the registration documents, which made Bai Xiuchu feel that he really didn't seem like a thirty-three-year-old.

However, considering that he had been in this research institute for seven years, such immaturity was quite normal.

Thanks to the official qualifications of the research institute and numerous collaborations with the Security Administration Bureau and the Hero Association, the registration process was quickly authenticated,

officially recognizing Ji Tianqi as a Single Soldier Level hero, similar to Bai Xiuchu's "Guardian," a professional certification that hadn't yet been made.

Since the assessment of his superpower strength level was not yet completed, although the research group in the center unanimously thought he had at least Tactical Level power, they couldn't promote him to that level yet.

Once these procedures were completed, a new round of experiments began.

For Ji Tianqi, this meant releasing the Genetic Lock and lifting restrictions on what he believed to be his only superpower, "Crossing into the High Martial World."

Yes, the Genetic Lock could only restrict his transcending ability, not his martial arts.

But he didn't tell anyone, despite being in an officially qualified research institution, he still needed to keep some secrets.

After all, speaking out would bring more stringent restrictions, and he wasn't actually ill, so why invite misery?

Yes, he still didn't think he was ill.

But he quite liked life at this research institute: board and lodging were covered, conditions were good, and they even supported his research and martial arts cultivation, among other things.

The key was that there was a salary—as a research subject, a part indispensable in the research team's projects, it was quite reasonable!

And indeed, having a mental illness did have certain conveniences that ordinary people couldn't easily obtain, so he was not inclined to leave.

"Let's begin."

After the Genetic Lock was released, Ji Tianqi did not immediately cross over as he had the last time.

Because he had not fully mastered his transcending superpower, he could only intermittently stimulate it through continuous psychological suggestion.

But he was not in a hurry, knowing that one day he would master it completely.

He sat down cross-legged, relaxed, and activated his Inner Strength.

Having reached a small success in the Nine Yang Skill, completed the Yijin Marrow Cleansing, and gathered seventy years of Inner Strength from You Yazi, he no longer needed to focus completely during his cultivation.

If it weren't for hiding his martial arts from the restrictions of the Genetic Lock, he wouldn't even need to cultivate, as the Nine Yang Skill could operate on its own, enhancing his Power and truly being a Supreme Divine Skill.

Of course, in the Otherworldly realm, the Nine Yang Skill was not the ultimate martial art, because that world also had the Longevity Technique and the Tathagata Divine Palm and other martial arts.

"What martial art can completely shield energy devices from monitoring?"

Unable to think of an answer, Ji Tianqi, after circulating his energy through three Circulations, finally felt it and completed the crossing in an instant.

When his gaze became vacant, the people around him all breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's good that he can still cross."

"Yeah, I was worried that he might not be able to cross anymore."

"Cough, it's an episode."

"Speaking of which, he took a bit longer this time to have an episode, is it because he just had one?"

"Who knows? But he says his episodes depend on feels, and he can't fully control them."

"Maybe in the future, he will be able to control it completely, crossing whenever he wants."

"It's having episodes whenever he wants."

"So, here comes the question. Is a mentally ill patient, who can have episodes whenever they want, and avoid them when they don't, safer or more dangerous?"

"..."

No one could answer this question, while the security personnel had already carried in the Divine Immortal sister's statue from the outside, and Bai Xiuchu also took out the 'Manggu Zhu Clam,' placing it on the table.
